I am doing this campaign because my rich experiences across borders has not allowed me to provide for my family. My mother recently was diagnosed with hernia due to strenuous hours of work and very poor living conditions. My current bank debt of about 400euros and the refusal to social aid in Europe has put me in shackles of imprisonment, discomfort and dependency. No job offer has been proposed as COVID19 has locked the path way to certain opportunities. After almost getting scammed and losing a lot of money on flights during my last trip to Cambodia; I am left stranded with the burning desire to give back to my family and my close ones who help me out when times are hard. The police recently sent me a letter ; calling me in for interrogation. My rights allowed me to seek assistance from a public government lawyer who finally never showed up. The case was abandoned. The case turned to be false allegation.  

The struggle I have faced over the past year is a concerning matter.
I would say that my profile is under target and at this moment I seek to fly back to my native country where I will be able to resource myself. Meanwhile, yoga and sattipathana meditation has kept me grounded. 
My year has been a disastrous accident. For this reason, I seek funding to equip myself with adequate shoes for a rigorous African environment, as well as socks, proper underwear and clothes and a pair of spectacles which have been broken for the past year already. I seek funding to pack all my bags and gather the multiple items I have left behind overseas in order to return back to Ghana safe and soundly and reunite with my family.
My financial circumstance is unusual and to some incomprehensible.

The smallest gesture would take me a long way in both putting me back on track with my personal health and confidence and allowing me to make a radical shift in my life. Reaching the goal of 3K by early October, will allow me to repatriate back to Ghana with adequate equipment and start carrying my project forward. Supporting me, means changing my current stagnating lifestyle while involving my network and my close ones who will be impacted by my return to the African continent.
Supporting me also means you care about my cause which aims in producing social change, community interaction, cultural awareness, and shared experiences.  By fulfilling these aims, I hope that the goal of our local partners will develop, choose and make use of the various approaches towards, and the processes within, artistic practice by contributing to the development of a new practice within the subject area of Contemporary Art.

There is chronic poverty associated with social discrimination between rural and urban areas, which in some places intersects the colonial distinction between blacks and mulattoes. There is a climate of mistrust between the city and the countryside, where the peasants who provide the cities with food do not find room for empowerment. They then find themselves confined to an out-of-the-focus experience with an existence only apparent in an 'out-of-space: country-outside arena'. This exclusion from the city is the result of a namely abandonment.
